Petrol or diesel

Low 30's out of a Dti if that helps. A wee bit more if you drive it like my Gran.

Hi,
Just a quick thought, if you go for the 3.2 V6 make sure its the 2000 model or earlier. Otherwise you will pay £400 road tax as its over 3ltr.

Good tip Vaux

My dti, with me driving it (flat out or its parked up ) gets around 50 to 65 miles out of a tenna of diesel @ 141.9p/l. And oddly enough it doesnt really go down much even after a full days green laning (poodling along at 10mph for many hours)

Just done a quick MPG calculation and it gets between 32mpg and 41mpg, Im pritty inpressed about that actually, even if I do say so myself lol, was expecting Id only get like 28mpg

So as it turns out a dti driven like a goof, by a goof on 31" ATs is still prity good to your wallet, so drive it like Si's gran and god only knows how kind it'll be

To be honest Hippo does thrash and abuse his truck but its somehow still alive

If your going for a B series I would only ever go for an early X22 DTi or 3.2 V6. Depends on wether you want economy or power. As People have said factor in fuel pump issues if going for the diesel option. Hipo did exactly that. Bought an X22 DTi cheap with fuel pump issues and got it replaced. He has abused that truck of his and it is still going strong. I know he is doing some work for his next MOT but in all honesty its nothing compared to some vehicles, especially when you consider what it has been through and its age.

Happy with it so far, just got a bit of a problem starting on the morning, trying to sort it out but it gets there in the end lol. done a couple of small repairs and so far so good

That'll be your bleed off pipes. Replace them then prime the injectors and away u go

Guy's I'm locking this thread as Richard has obviously made his 'Petrol or Diesel' decision.

Rich, please start a new thread in the 2.2 D section matey as this section is for 'non technical chat only.


Thanks
